Hi all. Fueled up ready to ride. Turned fuel on, pulled out choke then noticed small drip of fuel coming from fuel switch. Turned it off and it stopped. Turned it to reserve and it was ok. Turned it on and drip starts. Has anyone ever stripped one down? Is it o rings inside that have perished. Seen u can buy new fuel switches for £15 but I have o rings of every size in my possession.

O rings may have perished but its more likely the metal that seats on them is rough (a manufacturing defect). Strip it down and polish the faces with very fine wet and dry then mirror polish with solvol autosol.

PS Beta taps still have the same fault on the latest models.

Sometimes they leak internally flooding the bike whilst it is parked during the week, leaving the carb full of over oily petrol.
